IEA Low-Emissions Gases Day 2025

Recognising the growing importance of low-emissions gases (including biomethane, low-emissions hydrogen and e-methane), the International Energy Agency has developed a Low-Emissions Gases Work Programme to closely track market developments in this sphere and facilitate dialogue between emerging producers and consumers. This work is supported by the Clean Energy Transitions Programme, the IEA’s flagship initiative to transform the world’s energy system to achieve a secure and sustainable future for all.

Given the immediate need to speed-up the deployment of low-emissions gases, the industry, infrastructure and regulation should begin adapting already now to enable their cost-efficient integration into the gas system in the future. Moreover, an orderly transition from the current gas system to a model integrating multiple gases will require prudent market design already in the early stages, to take into consideration the network integration challenges and changing supply flexibility of low-emissions gases and ultimately their implications to security of supply.

On 28 February 2025, the IEA Secretariat will host a Low-Emissions Gases Day with the involvement of both government representatives and private stakeholders to further enhance the international dialogue on low-carbon gases, promote mutually beneficial partnerships and facilitate information dissemination to the broader public.
